Tbf the phrase "wrong side of the tracks" has nothing to do with a persons race, more to do with their standing in society if you like. Same as and similar to "a bit rough around the edges". Neither race related.
Of course, some of the old fashioned, Royal 'purists' may be against "Harry marrying a coloured girl". And of course they'll be a very small minority who are against her because she is mixed race. But to say the dislike of her is spearheaded by race is utterly absurd imo. She does herself no favours, they both don't. They're not wonderfully likeable people. A lot of us are just fed up of their hypocrisy at every turn, and it's so awfully plain to see. I think it weakens a persons argument when they holler "racist" at someone because they happen to dislike a mixed race person. The perfect example being me, i cannot stand Megan, i don't hate her, but my god i think both of them are pompous, deluded, hypocritical idiots, yet i have a mix raced girlfriend. Would you point the finger at me and spout racist accusations towards me because i don't like Megan? Probably not. A very, very, VERY small minority of people will be against Megan because of her race. But by saying "oh well obviously everyone who doesn't like her is racist" is beyond any form or rational.

...we don’t know whether it’s minority or majority though because there hasn’t been a balance of anything in the media, so of course...we question in what we see and experience, not what we don’t see and experience...racism/prejudice will and should always be questioned If it’s been such an undercurrent which has been a constant, as it has with Meghan...and with ‘wrong side of the tracks’...?...obviously we have to look at the whole context and whole media picture as it were and can’t exclude or isolate from ‘exotic blood’...
...as for ‘hypocrites’ ...well, we are all...every single one of us...and with celebrity hypocrites...well, welcome to the world of many and many and every one and all... ![]() ...anyways, all in all, things are questioned because they should be because if they weren’t then the surface appearance would be of the ‘irrational’ ....

i find them dull, predictable and irrelevant. Hate is a very strong word that should be used sparingly against precise examples and not thrown around as a general method of silencing opposing opinions

In your honest opinion Ammi, would you say the dislike, on the whole, of Megan is spearheaded by her race?
I don't really read newspaper headlines, but by the general feeling i get by the people i see online who don't like her, it really has nothing to do her race.

Regardless of her race the hatred of her is not warranted, hence irrational

Well that's another issue too. Just because you don't like someone, doesn't mean you hate the person. The word 'hate' is thrown around way too much in these Megan and Harry threads.

When you’re saying the complete opposite of nice things about people it’s exactly the word to use. People that have such an issue with the pair of them on here are completely irrational with their opinions of them.

...we always have to look at ‘too much’ on ‘both sides’ though, when our thought processes search...but so far as ‘both sides’ do go as well..?...it takes two sides and both sides to continue this tedious dance, which is felt as well, I feel...my main thoughts yesterday were of the fake news bit...but regardless of fake or no fake...the dance continues and continues, which I’ll be sitting out because there’s only so much dancing before exhaustion becomes a thing as well...

It's just irrational no matter how you cut it. If someone dislike someone regardless of what they do and do 'research' (reading gossip rags) to fuel that hatred then that is irrational hatred. They're looking for reasons to hate on that person and will twist any situation to make them look bad. To say it isn't is just ignoring the reality of the situation. This forum isn't full of Meghan fans, most of us are simply perturbed by the level of hate this woman gets and feel the need to counteract that. We could all go on with our lives and not care otherwise can the people in this world who hate her say the same? |

I think if you refuse to see anything good in someone, by default you hate them yes?
When you’re imagining peoples thought processes and seeing them thought processes as fact by default that would be an irrational way of thinking yes? Irrational hatred yes?

refusing to see any good in some is simply that, not seeing any good in them ... it doesn't equate to hate at all. I haven't seen a single instance of hate being directed toward them. All I have seen is people pointing out the couples general hypocrisy in the main, that doesn't equate to hate at all ... perhaps debate the substance of peoples opposing opinions rather than intentionally trying to shut them up by calling them haters or racists

...’we would all be better moving on’ though, bots can also be interpreted as a shutting down...I choose to move on atm because it was nice to have an early morning sharing of thoughts with Swan...there aren’t that many people awake when I log on or they ignore me or whatever...but that’s that of that for the moment for me and because when ‘ration is found then ration can be discussed quite easily’...but for anyone else...?..that’s their choice to make...
...I might decide to get up on that dance floor again at some point, who knows...but just not for the moment because there is no ‘freshness of thoughts’ added or to add atm...
